Job Hunt

Select format

You don’t greet your new boss dressed like an underage rent boy. But when Jack Horwood—ace hacker and ex-MI6 operative—opens the door to Gareth Flynn, he's too busy to worry over details like that. And anyway, his potential new boss is his former commanding officer – the same guy Jack has had a crush on since he was seventeen. So he should understand, right?

When he applied for the job in Nancarrow Mining's corporate security division, Jack had hoped for peaceful days repelling cyber attacks. Maybe a bit of corporate espionage on the side. His plans didn't include rescuing abused children, hunting pimps, or dealing with his overly protective and hot-as-hell boss, Gareth Flynn.

Walking away is not an option. Jack never takes the easy way out. More than that, meeting Gareth raises old ghosts that Jack needs to put to rest. Rescuing kids. Taking risks. Saving the day. Jack can do all that—but deciding what to do about his attraction to Gareth isn’t the sort of cloak-and-dagger game Jack plays well. Yet Gareth, strong and smart and always on hand when needed, might be Jack’s salvation.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Couldn't put it down. If you're a fan of suspense and intrigue with your romance, this book is for you!

Review of Job Hunt

By Chris S. on May 21, 2015 01:05

So, I went in not quite sure what to expect from this book. The blurb reads like a romantic suspense but I wasn't sure if I'd get more romance or more suspense. What I got was one hell of an awesome story. My family pretty much had to pry my kindle out of my hands while I was reading Job Hunt. I did not expect to be that sucked into this story.
The story kicks off with Jack, on the hunt for a new job. Having left his position with MI6 unexpectedly he's not sure where he would fit in best. Using his incredible hacking skills he whittles his list down to six prospective companies that are most vulnerable to 'attack' and it just so happens one, Nancarrow Mining has an open position. Going to the interview ends up with a surprise meeting with his old commanding officer from the military, who is now the head of their security team.
To say Jack is throw but Gareth's appearance is putting it mildly. He's been in lust with Gareth since their military days but never acted on it. Not only that, he wasn't sure if Gareth was even interested in him that way. Gareth definitely doesn't waste any time in letting Jack know he is VERY interested and has always been interested.
Job Hunt is most definitely a romantic suspense book. It has a very hot, and sexy romance between Jack and Gareth which hits all the right notes between them. It also has multiple suspense plots that showcases both Jack and Gareth's skills and strengths. There are also quite a handful of secondary characters introduced in the suspense plots that I hope to see in further books from this author in this setting. I understand that this is just the first book in the series with at least 2 others to come featuring Jack and Gareth and a few spin-offs where they will be included.
I can't recommend Job Hunt enough, for me it was a very well written, strong, character and plot driven story. The author really succeeded in sucking you into the story and also making you fall for the characters. I absolutely loved Jack and Gareth, but the author has two secondary characters, Nico and Daniel that stole my heart and did't give it back yet. If you like romantic suspense you really need to give this book a go, it delivers all the way around.
